Fighter Gives His Phone Number on Live TV in Hopes of Getting a UFC Call

When LFA lightweight Adam Townsend was handed the microphone following his massive LFA 5 win on Friday night, he made sure to use the time to advantage — by announcing he was ready for the UFC and then providing his phone number for the UFC brass.

It was likely that thought that kept Townsend trudging on, even after breaking his rib just seconds into round one. He was able to dominate rounds two and three for what would have been a decision victory. But, in typical Primetime fashion, he stopped his opponent with just :07 seconds left in round three.

Townsend was hopeful that he'd get the call in 2015 when he was on an eight-fight win streak, but plans were derailed after he lost (by decision) to UFC veteran EJ Chavez at RFA 33. Now, he's three wins deep and ready to try his luck at a UFC contract once more.

Townsend has now won 11 of his last 12 fights. 8 of those wins are by finish. UFC call up may not be far off #LFA5
